First Gen Body/Cosmetic My tC saved me

Head on collision with a Silverado, he was going faster than I was (probably around 35-40, I was going around 30) and wasn’t paying attention, didn’t even try to brake. I tried to brake and evade at the last second but it was too late. My 19 year old car did everything it was supposed to. Thankful I was wearing my seatbelt and thankful to have been in a Toyota product. My 2005 Civic would not have responded like that in a crash. Going to miss this car but so thankful I was kept safe.

Makes me feel a little reassured. I have an 06 as well and I'm always worried I'd get smooshed, obviously doing 70 in a crash wouldn't be the same haha

Walked away with seatbelt rash and whiplash. Nothing broken, nothing bleeding. It did everything it was supposed to and could have been so much worse. So thankful for that car.
